same as Mr. Porter...Lisinopryl & HCTZ for 10 years now. My doc originally prescribed Diovan which was expensive & my pharmacist buddy suggested Lisinopryl which has worked fine. Ditto on the beta blockers, they were a bad trip. good luck with your condition. gotta love age related "adjustments"
Any audiophile who is on blood pressure medication
I was put on HBP medication couple weeks ago due to slight blood pressure elevated from 135/85 in am to 145/92 in early pm time and my life has been turning up side down. As much as I love to listen to the music and mess around with my equipments on my day-off, now I see myself tired all days coping with the side effects of different type of HBP meds. I have not be able to turn on my gear for weeks due to the lacking of energy and I wonder how do other audiophiles who has the same medical issue can overcome the tiresome to enjpy the music. Please share some thoughts .

Just one bit I simply have to put in. I cringe when I see medical advice asked for and given here. This is always the place I come to for sound advice, but please go see your doctor for medical stuff! It sounds to me like you are getting unacceptable side-effects and there are plenty of options to treat hypertension. Call you doc and have him/her change your meds - if a patient can no longer enjoy their favorite hobby due to meds, that is not a good regimen to me. |
Hope this could help someone high blood pressure |
Cure # 8: Water prevents and cures high blood pressure. Water prevents and cures high blood pressure. Hypertension is a state of adaptation of the body to a generalized drought, when there is not enough water to fill all the blood vessels that diffuse water into vital cells. As part of the mechanism of reverse osmosis, when water from the blood serum is filtered and injected into important cells through minute holes in their membranes, extra pressure is needed for the "injection process." Just as we inject I.V. "water" in hospitals, so the body injects water into tens of trillions of cells all at the same time. Water and some salt intake will bring blood pressure back to normal! Tragedy: Not recognizing hypertension as one of the major indicators of dehydration in the human body, and treating it with diuretics that further dehydrate the body will, in time, cause blockage by cholesterol of the heart arteries and the arteries that go to the brain. It will cause heart attacks and small or massive strokes that paralyze. It will eventually cause kidney disease. It will cause brain damage and neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. |
